About

Weltraum

Read full description

Weltraum โ€” a minimalist space arcade about timing, orbits and a steady thumb. You are a small planet with moons in orbit. Swipe left or right to launch a moon. Space is round: whatever leaves one side of the screen comes back from the other. Lines at the edge show where it will return โ€” swipe up or down to meet it and catch it. Every catch scores. Miss one and the moon turns hot: hot moons can't be caught, only dodged, and each one that hits you costs a life. Three lives, one thumb, one more round. SINGLE PLAYER - Chase your record: points, catches and time after every round - Every move is a swipe โ€” left, right, up, down - Short rounds for the train, the couch or a coffee break VERSUS - Face to face via Bluetooth: your moons leave your screen and land on your rival's - Online matches with Game Center - Catch their moons, or they burn you - Win stars โ€” every 10 stars adds another moon to your orbit MAKE IT YOURS - Pick the colour of your planet and of your moons - Your name and your stars show up in your rivals' lobby LOOK AND FEEL - Deep space, soft glow and pixel planets - Comet trails behind every moon, haptic feedback on every hit - A short guided tour explains everything on first launch 10 LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese.
